Bug Description
Synaptic and update manager does not support proxy authentication.
IMHO, these two packages should use gome proxy settings.
For synaptic, this problem is solved by writing proxy settings in apt.conf.
But update-manager can't download informations for the Changes tab.

Thanks for your bugreport.
It's tricky to use gnome proxy settings because both applications run as root
and can't connect to the users gconf session.
But I agree that there should be a solution to this problem.
